About Cabling Installation & Maintenance

Our mission: Bringing practical business and technical intelligence to today's structured cabling professionals

For more than 30 years, Cabling Installation & Maintenance has provided useful, practical information to professionals responsible for the specification, design, installation and management of structured cabling systems serving enterprise, data center and other environments. These professionals are challenged to stay informed of constantly evolving standards, system-design and installation approaches, product and system capabilities, technologies, as well as applications that rely on high-performance structured cabling systems. Our editors synthesize these complex issues into multiple information products. This portfolio of information products provides concrete detail that improves the efficiency of day-to-day operations, and equips cabling professionals with the perspective that enables strategic planning for networks’ optimum long-term performance.

Throughout our annual magazine, weekly email newsletters and 24/7/365 website, Cabling Installation & Maintenance digs into the essential topics our audience focuses on.

  • Design, Installation and Testing: We explain the bottom-up design of cabling systems, from case histories of actual projects to solutions for specific problems or aspects of the design process. We also look at specific installations using a case-history approach to highlight challenging problems, solutions and unique features. Additionally, we examine evolving test-and-measurement technologies and techniques designed to address the standards-governed and practical-use performance requirements of cabling systems.
  • Technology: We evaluate product innovations and technology trends as they impact a particular product class through interviews with manufacturers, installers and users, as well as contributed articles from subject-matter experts.
  • Data Center: Cabling Installation & Maintenance takes an in-depth look at design and installation workmanship issues as well as the unique technology being deployed specifically for data centers.
  • Physical Security: Focusing on the areas in which security and IT—and the infrastructure for both—interlock and overlap, we pay specific attention to Internet Protocol’s influence over the development of security applications.
  • Standards: Tracking the activities of North American and international standards-making organizations, we provide updates on specifications that are in-progress, looking forward to how they will affect cabling-system design and installation. We also produce articles explaining the practical aspects of designing and installing cabling systems in accordance with the specifications of established standards.

UL Solutions Named Lead Administrator in First-Ever US Federal Cybersecurity Labeling Program

Company selected to lead development of FCC’s cybersecurity standards and testing procedures of qualifying smart products to display new certification symbol, the U.S. Cyber Trust Mark

UL Solutions Inc. (NYSE: ULS), a global leader in applied safety science, has been selected by the U.S. Federal Communications Commission to help lead the implementation of the new U.S. Cyber Trust Mark program, which will equip qualifying smart products, such as voice-activated speakers and kitchen appliances, with a cybersecurity safety label.

UL Solutions was named Lead Administrator of the program and a Cybersecurity Label Administrator (CLA), responsible for identifying or developing the program standards and testing procedures to recommend to the FCC for approval. UL Solutions will support the FCC and other stakeholders in establishing the technical requirements and other details that will help launch and grow the program.

The first of its kind for the U.S. government, the voluntary Cyber Trust Mark program is designed to help consumers make informed decisions about the products they bring into their homes, differentiate trustworthy products in the marketplace and create incentives for manufacturers to meet cybersecurity standards.

UL Solutions will also work with the FCC and program stakeholders to develop a national registry of certified products that consumers can access via QR code on the label. The registry will have more detailed information about each product. Additionally, UL Solutions will serve as liaison between the FCC and other CLAs, as well as other key stakeholders.

“As a leader in safety science for 130 years with an expanding list of cybersecurity offerings, we’re honored to receive this designation to help develop standards that will help consumers make more informed decisions,” said Chanté Maurio, UL Solutions vice president and general manager, Identity Management and Security. “As smart devices become increasingly integrated into our daily lives, it’s crucial that we trust these products are designed, built and managed to adhere to high security and privacy standards. Taking this leadership role is yet another way we’re working for a safer and more secure world.”

The Cyber Trust Mark program began in August 2023 when the FCC sought public comment on how to create it. In March 2024, the FCC adopted rules, based on public input, establishing a framework that included the need for guidance from third-party administrators with cybersecurity expertise, experience in certification programs and ties to the stakeholder community.

Applications to become an administrator opened in September 2024, and UL Solutions was the first organization to be selected. UL Solutions met the program criteria to be conditionally approved as a CLA and satisfies the additional Lead Administrator program criteria and requirements.
